There's wayyyy too many for me to list since I'm old and my list would range from Atari to Xbox 360.

What the hell is up w/ this Ballz thing anyways? :? Is it worth playing since I've seen mentioned in like every other freaking topic and/or post on this site? I remember seeing it in the stores back in the day and never bothered with it because I thought it was like a Marble Madness type of game but I see that it's like some kind of tournament fighter?
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Even he considers it a must play, if only so that you can properly hate it as much as he does.

Wow, that was a long ago. Back when we only had "Best ever" threads each week, not each day =P

Yah, the Ballz thing is a little old, but they are right in the sense that there are ton's of thread like this.

My votes:

Dead Rising 1 or 2 (full for just the chaos of it all)
The most recent COD game, solely for it's multiplayer (most recent used as when the next one comes out, all the good players will shift to that)
LoZ: Link's Awakening (perfect portable game, IMO)
TF2 (team gaming at it's finest... at least until the hats were added :wink: )
Starcraft 2

...annnddd thats it for me. Man I'm thinking too hard about this. Funny how I cannot recommend a SINGLE JRPG on my list. My opinion of a great game is one that gets people to play well, together or against each other.
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?
